Hardware Setup 2-1
Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
Before the Installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or
disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to do
so may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or damaged.
2-1. Install The Motherboard
Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow motherboard to be securely
attached on and at the same time, prevented from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the
motherboard to the chassis base:
1. use with studs
2. or use with spacers
In principle, the best way to attach the board is
to use with studs. Only if you are unable to do
this should you attach the board with spacers.
Line up the holes on the board with the mounting
holes on the chassis. If the holes line up and there
are screw holes, you can attach the board with
studs. If the holes line up and there are only slots,
you can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of
the spacers and insert them into the slots. After
doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board
into position aligned with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK
before putting the chassis back on.
ATTENTION: To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if they
are already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holes on the motherboard to align with.
